In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the controversy surrounding Dr. Monica Walla, a therapist involved in the Delphi murder case against Richard Allen. Walla, who treated Allen while he was detained, has come under scrutiny for her behavior, particularly her fascination with the Delphi case and her social media activity. Allen's defense team argues that Walla's personal interest in the case and her online conduct compromised her professional objectivity and violated ethical obligations. Scott highlights the ethical gray areas surrounding therapists and internet use, noting that while curiosity is natural, professional boundaries must be maintained. She suggests that Walla's actions, such as posting about the case on Facebook and looking up information on a person of interest, might have crossed those boundaries. The conversation touches on broader concerns about social media's impact on legal proceedings and the potential repercussions for therapists who fail to maintain professional distance. Scott also reflects on the possible implications for Allen's case, suggesting that these controversies could become significant points in appeals or further legal challenges.
